Excellent, John. As you may have surmised from other posts, the arrival of the A1400 on the market is about to make me accelerate my 2-year plan for a high-quality power amp fairly soon (because the A1400 is less that half what I would have had to pay for what I want with even more power/flexibility).

So it is nice to confirm that the A1400 is as good as I thought it was, based on those data. Since I only listen to classical music (SACDs/DVD-a in preference) most of the time at -7db, or even sometimes at "live" volume, consistency, speed and power are my most important parameters. That is why I can't wait for that 700W/4Ohm and 8 microsecond!

It's still is a LOT OF MONEY!!! But, I am the type that buys once for a long time, so it is not too bad... \:\)
